MISSING

GUELPH — Tim Rutledge is still making his daily trip from Orangeville to Guelph, looking for his adult son who was reported missing more than a week ago.

The last communication he had with his 37-year-old son, Wayne Rutledge, was on Dec. 11. Wayne has not been heard from since.

Wayne moved to Guelph from the west coast and was believed to have been living with friends in the city at the time when he went missing. Tim said last week that his son had moved to Guelph to get his life back in order while recovering from his addictions.

Jane Codd, Tim’s wife and Wayne’s stepmother, said in a phone interview on Thursday that Tim was still travelling to and from Guelph nearly every day, looking for his son. On Christmas, he visited shelters around the city that were serving food, but found no sign him. Last week, she said that over the past few years Wayne enjoyed being on his own but had been struggling with some mental issues.

The family is asking anyone who may have seen Wayne or has information about where he might be to call them directly at 519-942-0430 or 519-217-2232.
